Summer Math Routine

Summer Learning Loss Opportunity

Over the summer kids lose an average of one full month of reading skill with an even greater loss of 2.6 months in math, this is often referred to as summer learning loss. Not only do they loose previously learned material but it also takes 4-6 weeks for teachers to reteach students after summer vacation.

It's not all bad news, if your optimist, because this situation also presents us with a great opening to help our kids catch up in areas they struggle or even get a bit ahead. Summer learning loss offers us as parents such an amazing opportunity to help our kids stay strong in what they have learned and even catch up in areas that they need help in.

Kids doing chores in the NEWS

A survey by Braun Research last year says 82 percent of adults had chores as children, but only 28% of children today have chores and help out around the house.

So that makes me a minority in two ways. Firstly I didn't have chores as a child and secondly my kids do chores today.

Hi! I'm Robin

Welcome to Robin's Blog on NEATLINGS. Here you will find loads of stuff on chores for kids & lots of free printables.

Why Chores? I created a chore system for my kids that works amazingly! It's not like any chore system you've used before and it WORKS! So, with that you'll find lots of stuff on chores. Please check it out at our home page.

I really enjoy making printables for kids. They are fun for the kids, they are fun to make, and I enjoy making something that I can share, so I just keep at it. I hope you find some you enjoy too. If you signup for our newsletter you will get access to all of our FREEBIES! You will see the signup form at the bottom of our home page.

I'm a born and raised big city girl who decided to move to a small town so that my husband could follow his dreams of being a farmer. I'm not ready to move to a farm place as my husband would like but we compromised on a darling small town, with heartwarming people, a beautiful community, and an absolutely fabulous school. With the move I left my fortune 500 career and became a stay at home mom to my 3 wonderful children.

For the record I am not someone that loves chores or housework in fact it is quite the opposite I am not a very "domestic" gal but I love my children to all ends and because of that I strive to teach them everything they need and to cultivate contributing, confident, can-do kids!
